How TerraPhoto started their logo design journey

Summary

Need an original, modern logo designed for my photography business. I like elegant and clean designs with some sort of artwork incorporated - but please avoid clipart and the "cartoon" look. Needs to fit with all aspects of my photography (portraits, weddings, fine art).

Company name

Terra Photography

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

It will be redesigned within the next year, but I am planning to keep the background black. I also have a blog where you can review some of my more recent work to get a feel of my photographic style: terraphoto.blogspot.com

The logo will be used on my website, business cards, and as a watermark on my images. Thus I would like a design that works with black, white, and transparent backgrounds. Though I tend to like blues, greens, and purples, I'm fairly open to different colors being used for the font and artwork. Again, I am looking for something original - please feel free to be creative!! Would want the logo in *.ai and *.psd formats.

Wants

- Original, elegant, clean, and modern design
- Would like to have some sort of artwork as part of the logo - not just the company name
- A design that works with black, white, and transparent backgrounds
- Logo to be delivered in *.ai and *.psd formats
